As can be seen from the past few posts, it all did not happen in one go or at one time but gradually over a long period of time. I am grateful for this for I cannot imagine what would have taken place if these energies were released at one go as in the floodwaters that come rushing in. It would have done more harm and good. I remember the government engaged in channeling the Muda and Pedu reservoir waters carefully to the nearby fields under their Muda Irrigation Plan by the Muda Agricultural Development Authority many years ago. It served its purpose well as the water levels were monitored.
"Beginning in 1955 and continuing until several years after independence, rice sufficiency through local production has been the main policy of the government. In line with the policy, the government launched several agricultural projects under the First Malaysia Plan (1965-1970), the largest of these projects is the Muda Irrigation Plan. In the early 1970s, the first stage of irrigation was started on an area of about 33,600 hectares for off-season crops. Irrigation to the remaining areas was implemented in four stages which were completed in 1974. Under the Muda Irrigation Plan, an irrigation and drainage system is provided in parts of the western mainland of Kedah and Perlis to enable paddy cultivation to be cultivated twice a year. The available water sources consist of rain that falls directly on the paddy fields, water that flows from natural rivers, and water that is stagnant in the Muda and Pedu reservoirs. These water sources are integrated into one system to meet the needs for crops of both seasons." (Source: https://www.mada.gov.my/)
So too Agathiyar ensured that the energy to be released only brought on minimal pain and discomfort and did not have me bedridden. Even when it came on as an excruciating pain in my lower back that I had to endure between the years 2010, 2011, and 2012 I still could drag myself to work and look after other important chores. It now makes sense when Agathiyar tells me, "If going within is difficult think of it as an exercise and practice for you. Think of the bigger treasures that await you in going within. It will bring you to merge with the Prapanjam. He tells me that there is no easier way or a shortcut. He says, "What you go through is very much easier and milder than what I went through" repeating the words of Tavayogi much earlier." உள் பயணம் சிரமமாக இருக்குமானால் அதுவே உமக்கு பயிற்சி. ஆழ்ந்து போவது நீங்கள் பிரபஞ்சத்தோடு இணைவதற்கு. இதற்கு சுலபமான வழி இல்லை. நான் கண்டதை விட நீங்கள் கண்டு வருவது மிகவும் சுலபமானது.
This reminds me of the most compassionate father telling me back in 7.10.2018 in the Nadi that I cannot possibly withstand even the slightest pain hence offering to provide a Satvic options to an otherwise, I suppose worst options, when my breath went amok in my sleep. உனக்குத்தான் நித்திரை தவ வாசி காலம் வாசியும் சீர் பிசகி முடங்கித் தான் இருக்கு. சோர்ந்திடாது நீ திடங்கள் பெறுவதற்கு தீர்க்கமுடன் எங்களின் வாகடங்கள் சொல்வோம். சிறு வலியும் பொறுக்காத தேகம் அப்பா பிள்ளை உனக்கு வலி வருத்தம் இல்லாது சாத்மீக வாகடன்கள் சொன்னோம்.
Lord Murugan too placed a thought into the visiting Nadi reader and had him ask if he could follow a couple who were coming over to visit me as I was in pain again in 2018. Lord Murugan came to heal me through a devotee and came through the Nadi reading simultaneously. The next day 9.10.2018, he explains what took place in a Nadi reading of another devotee. "I did treat him yesterday. I have removed his pain. I came as his Jeeva and as the Jeeva Nool or Nadi and treated him. I spoke (through the Nadi) and came (through the devotee) at the same time. I removed his pain by stroking his body with the peacock feathers. He shall gain by sitting in meditation." செய்தித்தேன் மருத்துவம் யான் கூட நேற்று. மெய்யாக அவன் வலியைப் போக்கினேன். ஜீவ நூலாய் ஜீவனாய் இறங்கி பங்காக அவன் உடலைச் சார்ந்திருந்தது அவனுக்குச் சிகிச்சை செய்தோம். ஆறுமுகன் பேசினேன் இறங்கினேன் ஒரு கணத்தில். நன்றாய் மயில் இராகு கொண்டு சண்முகத்தின் தேகத்தை தடவிய அவன் வலியைப் போக்கினேன். மைந்தனவன் தியான வழி சிந்தைகொள்ள அவன் தனக்கு சக்தி பெருகும்.
My eyes tear as I pen these worlds for the compassion that was shown to an undeserving human being. All I did was follow their words. Yet they brought down heaven to earth. Even we pinch ourselves in disbelief at whatever has taken place throughout the years of apprentice to these Siddhas. Magic and Miracles, Unbelievable and Inconceivable, Unthinkable and Unimaginable, Mind-boggling and Mind-blowing - these are the only words that come to mind and to the fore. As ThiruGnanaSambandhar sings in his Thevaram that we are blessed to come to the Lord residing in Thiruvalanchuzhi indeed he shall remove our Vinai or karma and ensure it doesn't wreck our lives here and in our afterlife. I was blessed to step into this temple twice en route to Swamimalai and Tanjavur in 2005 and 2016.
என்ன புண்ணியஞ் செய்தனை நெஞ்சமே யிருங்கடல் வையத்து
முன்ன நீபுரி நல்வினைப் பயனிடை முழுமணித் தரளங்கள்
மன்னு காவிரி சூழ்திரு வலஞ்சுழி வாணனை வாயாரப்
பன்னி யாதரித் தேத்தியும் பாடியும் வழிபடு மதனாலே.
As in the following song Yenna Puniyam Seitheno Gurunatha, we ask ourselves how did we come to reach his Holy Feet? What tavam or austerities or penance did we do to receive his grace? Just as one needs his grace to even step into his temple, what more, to come to worship him and come to his path, even if we have read, comprehended, and digested the Vedas, it too is useless without his grace. Just like he is the rain for the withering crops and a prop for the vines we too need his shoulders to rest our weary selves.
And as Ramalinga Adigal in listing the bountifully treasures one attains, brings us the grace of his Lord Arutperunjothi Aandavar in என்ன புண்ணியம் செய்தேனோ,

what more can one ask for?
